Melamine 4-Piece Mixing Bowl Set, Multicolored

Essential equipment for cooks and bakers - big and little alike - our lightweight, durable melamine bowls are an asset in any kitchen. Each has a nonslip rubber ring on its base to help hold the bowl steady during enthusiastic mixing. Made of lightweight, durable melamine in bright, cheerful colors. Won't react with acidic foods, so flavors stay true. Easy-grip handle. Contoured spout makes it easy to pour batter onto a griddle or into a baking pan. Footed base has a nonslip ring for added stability when mixing. Bowls nest for compact storage. Set of four includes one of each size, from 1-qt. to 4-qt. cap. BPA free. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

These are the best bowls you can have in your kitchen! They are easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. They have a nice handle for gripping and I love how the bottom stays in place when mixing. They can be a bit fragile if dropped, but not everything lasts forever.

Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Design, Weight

Cons: Fragile

Excellent mixing bowls, but...

August 5, 2013

These are perfect mixing bowls, but the melamine IS something ya gotta watch. I dropped the biggest (green) bowl and it fractured immediately.Perhaps WS makes these out of melamine so they would not be as heavy as "glass" mixing bowls might be...but then they wouldn't have the wonderful rubber "stay secure" rings on the bottomside.

I ordered a new set (giving my remaining 3 to my daughter) and LOVE using them...but after reading other reviews I will keep in mind that they probably will not last forever (because I use a hand mixer also...)

BUT the price is not too bad if I must replace in a few years after a LOT of use!These are now my go-to mixing bowls, period.

Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Design, Weight, not expensive

Cons: Fragile

bowl shatters

July 18, 2013

I received this set as a gift, however, after taking careful care of the set (always hand washing and hand drying) the yellow bowl shattered on the side and bottom. The only cause for this as far as I know is using a portable mixer in it. I'm very disappointed with the product. ;(

Loved these bowls, but...

July 17, 2013

I had a yellow set from a few years ago and used them at least a couple of times a week. They never went in the microwave or dishwasher. I loved the depth of the bowls as well as the handle and rubber ring on the bottom. However, I recently dropped one from a couple of feet onto a rug and the handle shattered. I thought it was a freak accident and came on the site to order another set. After seeing the reviews and noting that this is a common problem, I've changed my mind.

Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Store, Size

Cons: Fragile

Mixed feelings about these bowls

June 15, 2013

I received these bowls as a gift from my daughter who also has them and loves them. I have had them and used them regularly for 2 years. One day after washing the second largest bowl and while drying it i noticed a roughness on the bottom and noticed a crack! Since i have always been so careful with these bowls I was stunned.About the only thing i could think of was that i have used a hand mixer in the bowl and perhaps that led to the crack. But if true, why not a crack in the largest bowl. I am so sad as i really loved this set. Now i wonder .....is there any warranty and if so how can I replace the bowl?

Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Design

Cons: Fragile, Not Durable

Great quality bowls

April 5, 2013

I bought these bowls as a gift for someone and wanted to keep them for myself. Love the colors. They look great and have that quality feel. I will have to get some for myself.

I have three sets of mixing bowls and these are my go to set every time. The handle makes mixing up eggs and such in the bowls so easy as you can use the handle to tip them to an angle that's comfortable for you. I love the matching measuring cups and spoons too. They are a nice weight and you know when you hold them that they'll hold up a good long time.

We got this set with matching measuring cups and spoons as a wedding gift. We got a gift card, went to the store and WOW! We loved what they had to offer. My son and daughter in law fell in love with them too, now they want a set for themselves.

I purchased these bowls about a year ago and loved them until I pulled one out to use and noticed the bottom had cracked. I have emailed customer service to see if they will stand behind their product and replace the cracked bowl.

Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean

Cons: Fragile

Favorite bowls!!

June 23, 2012

I actually have the fall colored set of these, and I love them. I love the pouring spout, the handle is great, the feel and look of the bowl is very attractive, they look great presented on the table. Also, they have a lovely rubber ring around the bottom so that they don't slip or move around while you're mixing something or preparing. I choose these over all my other bowls. Use them for salad, popcorn, pico de gallo, pasta, whatever! I have had them for months now and I have had no issues with scratches or cracks. I even put them in the dishwasher. They are looking great and are my favorite bowls to use. Can't imagine not having them.

For no apparent reason my bowls have started breaking into rather large peices. First the yellow now the green. Very hard to use with big holes in the bottom! I have never put these into the dishwasher or microwave.

Pros: Easy to Use, Size, Design

Cons: Temperamental, Fragile, breakable

AH-MAZING!

May 22, 2012

These are on the BEST purchase I've ever made for my kitchen. They are the greatest, bright, fun colors. But that's got nothing to do with why I love them so! Their width and depth are large and they have rubber lined bottoms so they don't go ANYWHERE! The 4 different sizes give you lots of options making it ultra convenient. Finally ,when you make something, like say ceviche, where it needs to marinated and covered with plastic in the frig for a few hours the suran wrap sticks to those sides and seals the bowl FOR REALS! I can't imagine being without them now!! They are such a lifesaver and a MUST HAVE in the kitchen, people! :)

great design

May 15, 2012

I just received these bowls and so far I am very happy with them. I love that the bottoms have rubber grips that make the bowls cling to the counter. I have read the reviews about the bowls breaking when dropped. The rubber grips make it harder to accidently knock them off the counter. I love the pour spout and handle. These bowls are very well designed.

Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Store, Size, Versatile, Design

Love them!

February 23, 2012

I bought my first set over a year ago and just purchased a second set this pas January. I have had them in the dishwasher and the fridge. So far, no problems at all w/them. I wouldn't want any other kind of mixing bowls. These are amazing!

I bought an all white set for myself and my mom last christmas, by this past christmas two of my bowls are split and trashed. Mine didn't crack in the base as others have stated but along the sides. I also do not dishwash or microwave these. I do love the grip bottoms.

Pros: Easy to Clean, Design

Cons: Quality, Fragile

Love Them, Love the Colors

January 11, 2012

I love the design and colors.store easily, non-slip bottoms are a big plus when storing in the refrigerator.I have only had mine a few weeks and have not had any problems. After reading all these reviews im scared they will break if i use them to much. They are not cheap... But i guess we will see.

The bottoms crack!

January 4, 2012

I used to love these bowls and I have given 3 sets as wedding gifts. But recently, I noticed cracks appearing in the bottoms for no apparent reason. I don't put them in the microwave or dishwasher--I wash them by hand. I was so disappointed. They have not been dropped. This was my second set--the last set shattered into a zillions pieces when dropped on the kitchen floor rug! I can't believe WS is still selling these when I see all the negative reviews. Cheaply made product--expensive price. Disappointed.

Pros: Design

Cons: Fragile

Not Surprised

This is not surprising.. ANYTHING made of this type of plastic is surely bound to crack. I'm looking for a good set of mixing bowls. I will either get stainless steel or (if brave enough) try some of those silicone bowls. Sorry you had a bad experience.
